Default length of `--restore-days` not documented

[mlissner]

A bunch of examples show how to restore from Glacier using the restore command like:

s3cmd restore s3://some-bucket/

When these guides omit the --restore-days parameter, I assume one is being set by default, because it works, but the length of the restoration isn't documented in the help file. I tried searching the code too, but couldn't find it. It'd be great to get this documented.

@mlissner the default restore period is 1 day

Thanks @robd003 for the reply.

@mlissner I think that it is documented already for some time "Number of days to keep restored file available (only for 'restore' command). Default is 1 day.". Or am I mistaken?

[mlissner]

Guess I missed it or it got updated? Huh.

Hello, the default number of restore days is still not documented, why is that ?

[robd003]

@ServaneC the default number of days for restoration documented in the man page here: https://github.com/s3tools/s3cmd/blob/master/s3cmd.1#L286-L288

It's also shown in the help message as you posted above. https://github.com/s3tools/s3cmd/blob/master/s3cmd#L3057

  -D NUM, --restore-days=NUM
                        Number of days to keep restored file available (only
                        for 'restore' command). Default is 1 day.

This has been in the code base since 2018, are you running an up to date version of s3cmd?

I was talking about the online documentation: https://s3tools.org/usage
